< Isaiah 50 >

1 Thus, saith Yahweh—Where then is the scroll of your mother’s divorce, whom I have put away? Or, which of my creditors, is it to whom I have sold you? Lo! for your iniquities, have ye been sold, And for your transgressions, hath your mother been put away.
耶和华如此说: 我休你们的母亲, 休书在哪里呢? 我将你们卖给我哪一个债主呢? 你们被卖,是因你们的罪孽; 你们的母亲被休,是因你们的过犯。
2 Wherefore, When I came in, was there no one? When I called, was there none to answer? Is mine own hand, really shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or is there not, in me, strength to deliver? Lo! by my rebuke, I dry up the sea I make rivers a desert, Their fish Stinketh, for want of water, Yea dieth, for thirst:
我来的时候,为何无人等候呢? 我呼唤的时候,为何无人答应呢? 我的膀臂岂是缩短、不能救赎吗? 我岂无拯救之力吗? 看哪,我一斥责,海就干了; 我使江河变为旷野; 其中的鱼因无水腥臭,干渴而死。
3 I clothe the heavens with gloom, And, of sackcloth, make I their covering.
我使诸天以黑暗为衣服, 以麻布为遮盖。
4 My Lord Yahweh, hath given unto me the tongue of the instructed, That I should know how to succour the fainting, with discourse, —He kept wakening—morning by morning. He kept wakening mine ear, to hearken as do the instructed;
主耶和华赐我受教者的舌头, 使我知道怎样用言语扶助疲乏的人。 主每早晨提醒, 提醒我的耳朵, 使我能听,像受教者一样。
5 My Lord, Yahweh, opened mine ear, And, I, was not rebellious, —Away, turned I not:
主耶和华开通我的耳朵; 我并没有违背,也没有退后。
6 My back, gave I to smiters, and My cheeks, to them who pulled out the beard, —My face, hid I not from insult and spitting.
人打我的背,我任他打; 人拔我腮颊的胡须,我由他拔; 人辱我,吐我,我并不掩面。
7 Because, My Lord, Yahweh, would help me, Therefore was I not deterred by insult, —Therefore did I set my face like flint, And I knew that I should not be put to shame.
主耶和华必帮助我, 所以我不抱愧。 我硬着脸面好像坚石; 我也知道我必不致蒙羞。
8 At hand, is one who can justify me. Who will contend with me? let, us stand forth together, —Who can accuse me? let him draw near to me!
称我为义的与我相近; 谁与我争论, 可以与我一同站立; 谁与我作对, 可以就近我来。
9 Lo! My Lord, Yahweh, will help me, Who is he that shall prove me lawless? Lo! they all, as a garment, shall fall to pieces, the moth shall consume them.
主耶和华要帮助我; 谁能定我有罪呢? 他们都像衣服渐渐旧了, 为蛀虫所咬。
10 Who among you, revereth Yahweh, Hearkening unto the voice of his Servant, —That hath walked in dark places And hath had no gleam of light? Let him trust in the name of Yahweh, And lean upon his God.
你们中间谁是敬畏耶和华、 听从他仆人之话的? 这人行在暗中,没有亮光。 当倚靠耶和华的名, 仗赖自己的 神。
11 Lo! all ye that kindle a fire, That gird yourselves with fiery darts, —Walk ye in the blaze of your own fire. And in the fiery darts ye have kindled, At my hand, hath this befallen you, In sorrow, shall ye lie down.
凡你们点火,用火把围绕自己的 可以行在你们的火焰里, 并你们所点的火把中。 这是我手所定的: 你们必躺在悲惨之中。
